Bill:

I like the idea of the Tri-Elmar, but I use the M for the fast lenses and 
the incredible quality of the images produced.  If you read Erwin's report 
he says the Tri-Elmar is not up to the level of the current lenses.  I just 
love the look of the images from the 35mm Summicron ASPH and the 50mm 
Summicron.  I almost never use a 28mm even on my R8, so the Tri-Elmar are 
the wrong three for me.  Perhaps if it was 35-50-70 and a touch faster.

Regards,

Robert
